This Sunday, the Seaborne Odyssey rescued three fishermen adrift in the Pacific 150 miles southwest of Pago Pago, America Samoa. The fishermen had sailed from Apia in Western Samoa, had ran out of fuel and had been adrift for nearly three weeks. This is apparently the second rescue involving a Seabourn ship in less than a year.
One can only imagine the shock the fishermen must have felt when they went from their fishing boat to one of the more luxurious small cruise ships operating today. The passengers on the Seaborne Odyssey collected $2,400 for the three men, who were disembarked in Pago Pago.
